Agree with you 100 percent. It is a beautiful country but there is a tension and hate you feel instantaneously. I though I was the only one who could see or feel it, until the people I was traveling said the same. We left for Cyprus that same day, even though I wanted to see the dead sea. But what's the point if you feel uncomfortable the whole time. I'm American , I realize we act like uneducated baboons everywhere we go. And those Americans who do not see need to leave the country to see why. News around the world does not cover up the stupid things we do like domestic news does. I was actually really ashamed when I heard a fellow American ask a Cypriot when she didn't speak English. Wow I wanted to punch her. Ok here's an American telling my own people we act like the kid in the neighborhood who was given everything and never had to work for it. That's one reason the world hates us. The other thing is YEARS of idiotic foreign policy, and sticking our nose in crap that's none of our business. Yes I love America it's home. But we Are assholes. And let's face it our country is a bully. I was in the army I fought for this country. I respect it but the truth is never an easy pill to swallow.
What's the worst place you ever went to?
